Why Quantum Safe Encryption Is the Next Y2K, and How to Be Prepared – Joe Winchester & Louisa Seers, IBM
Monday September 16, 2024 14:15 – 14:55 CEST
Client server computing relies on encryption algorithms to ensure that data sent across networks cannot be read, or faked, by untrusted parties. This is the rock on which financial computing works in a business to customer environment, as well as how data at rest is protected from malicious prying eyes reading our personal data. This talk will cover the basics of how Diffe-Hellman encryption works, how symmetric and asymetric keys operate, as well as how all of this will soon become unsafe because of quantum computing. As well as showing the audience the basics (no maths degree required) this talk will show how quantum safe encryption is able to address this, and how folks can get wise and get started.
Speakers: Louisa Seers (Product Manager, IBM) & Joe Winchester (Senior Technical Staff Member, IBM)
